How to Integrate Sources: Several Demonstrations

The second largest order of mammals, bats comprise about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide,
with about 1, 240 species. These were traditionally divided into two suborders: the largely fruit-eating mega
bats, and the echo locating micro bats. But more recent mega bats as members of the former along with several
species of micro bats. Many bats are insectivores, and most of the rest are frugivorous. A few species feed on
animals other than insects; for example, the vampire bats feed on blood. Most bats are nocturnal and many roost
in caves or other refuges; it is uncertain whether bats have these behaviours to escape predators. Bats are present
throughout the world, with the exception of extremely cold regions. They are important in their ecosystems for
pollinating flowers and dispersing seeds; many tropical plants depend entirely on bats for these services
Paraphrase
-According to Wikipedia bats are the second largest order of mammals. There are around 1240 species of bats
and they make up 20% of all classified mammals in the world. They used to be divided into two suborders-mega
bats and micro bats- but have since been divided into more precise orders. Yinpterochiroptera and
Tangochiroptera. Most bats eat insects, blood. In most cases, bats are nocturnal and roost in caves, but scientists
are not certain if bats do these things to avoid predators or for other reasons. One can find bats anywhere in the
world they live. They disperse seeds, pollinate flowers and some plants in certain parts of the world are entirely
dependent on bats.
Summarize
-According to Wikipedia, there are many different species of bats, they exhibit a variety of behaviors, they live
in nearly every part of the world, and they are an important part of the ecosystems in which they live.
Integrating Quotes
-According to Wikipedia, bats are the second largest order of mammals and "comprise about 20% of all
classified mammal species worldwide." It goes on to say that there are around 1,240 species of bats. Formerly,
bats were divided into two suborders: "The largely fruit eating mega bats, and the echo locating micro bats."
Now, however, scientists have re-evaluated these classifications. Today, bats are divided into the suborders
"Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera, with mega bats as members of the former among with several species
of micro bats." While most bats eat either insects or fruit, Wikipedia says, "A few species feed on animals other
than insects; for example, the vampire bats feed on blood." While most bats are nocturnal and "roost in caves
and other refuges." Wikipedia says, "It is uncertain whether bats have these behaviors to escape predators. "Bats
reside in nearly every part of the world excepting regions that are extremely cold. "They are important in their
ecosystems for pollinating flowers and dispersing seeds, " says Wikipedia. "Many tropical plants depend
entirely on bats for their services."

-Sleep paralysis is when, during awakening or falling asleep, a persona is aware but unable to move. During an
episode, one may hear, feel or see things that are not there. It often results in fear. Episodes generally last less
than a couple of minutes. It may occur as a single episode or be recurrent.
Paraphrase
-Wikipedia says that sleep paralysis occurs when a person is aware but cannot move, usually while in the
process of waking up or falling asleep. While in a state of sleep paralysis, a person might experience
hallucinations which affect their senses of hearing, sight, and touch. Most people who suffer from sleep
paralysis find the experience frightening. While most episodes last only a few minutes, sleep paralysis can be a
one-time event or recurrent.
Summarize
-Wikipedia says that sleep paralysis is a phenomenon that makes people feel as if they are aware but cannot
move, occasionally involves hallucinations, and can, in some cases, be a recurring problem.
Integrating Quotes
-Wikipedia defines sleep paralysis as the phenomenon that occurs "when, during awakening or falling asleep, a
person is aware but unable to move." In addition, "During an episode, one may hear, feel, or see things that are
not there." This, as one might expect often results in a feeling of intense fear despite the fact that most episodes
"last less than a couple of minutes." Sleep paralysis may occur only once in an individual's life or may happen
over and over.
